AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with advanced or spread solid cancers who have run out of standard treatment or have declined the next treatment. It tests the new drug KESONOTIDE™.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes can join
- Disease stage
- Locally advanced or metastatic solid cancer, confirmed under the microscope. Disease must be measurable (bone-only spread is acceptable for prostate and breast cancer), and the person must be fairly active (ECOG 0 or 1).
- Earlier treatment
- Standard treatment must have failed, or the person has refused the next treatment and can safely delay approved options. In Parts 2 and 3, no more than 2 prior lines of therapy.
- Biomarker or test result
- In Parts 2 and 3, measurable disease or abnormal marker levels (for example PSA in prostate cancer, CA15.3 in breast cancer).
Main reasons for not taking part
- Cannot stop anti-inflammatory medicines or statins (oral steroids at any dose included)
- Took another trial drug within 4 weeks or five half-lives
- Serious active infection
- Heart attack or unstable angina within 6 months, or serious heart failure or rhythm problems
- Uncontrolled mental illness

What the trial wants to find out
This clinical trial is an adaptive study of a novel vimentin inhibitor in cancers.
Read full original descriptionShow less
It is an open label, multicentre, single ascending dose level in phase I and cohort exploration in phase II.
Primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerability of KESONOTIDE™ as a monotherapy in participants with advanced/metastatic solid cancers.
Secondary objective is to characterise the pharmacokinetics of KESONOTIDE™. Phase I study will enrol 20-32 participants and Phase II approximately 80 participants.
